It's also good practice in case you decide to upgrade to a telescope later.

Thanks for posting.
I live on acreage about 35-40 mins from the city so light pollution is not as much of a problem. I'll definitely give that a go next time I get out to view. Thanks James!

And Dennis, I used a tripod for this shot and put it on self timer for 10 seconds to remove any camera shake.

Thanks very much for the comments everyone! Now I just need to get a better shot of Jupiter
